I) Corruptions of Westcott-Hort compared to the original manuscript.
In this comparison, the English Majority Text Bible translation will represent the Masoretic Text of the Old Testament and the Majority Text of the New Testament. The New International Version will represent the Westcott-Hort.
Address | The English Majority Text translations from the Masoretic Text and the Majority Text | The New International Version from the Westcott-Hort and the Alexandrian texts | Note |
1. [01] Genesis 27:39 | 39 And Isaac his father answered and said unto him, Behold, thy dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above. | 39 His father Isaac answered him, “Your dwelling will be away from the earth’s richness, away from the dew of heaven above. | Verse 39 in the two translations are completely opposite. |
2. [01] Genesis 49:21 | 21 Naphtali is a hind let loose: he giveth goodly words. | 21 “Naphtali is a doe set free that bears beautiful fawns. | Some Westcott-Hort translations do put a note here saying “he utters beautiful words”, showing they do know about this error, but they didn’t know which one is the original text. |
3. [10] II Samuel 21:19 | 19 And there was again a battle in Gob with the Philistines, where Elhanan the son of Jaareoregim, a Bethlehemite, slew (*) of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam. | 19 In another battle with the Philistines at Gob, Elhanan son of Jair the Bethlehemite killed Goliath the Gittite, who had a spear with a shaft like a weaver’s rod. | In the original text, the verse only said that he slew of Goliath, without telling what specifically. However as we compare with [13] I Chronicles 20:5, we can see it stated clearly “Elhanan the son of Jair slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath”, so many translations added “the brother” here to make the meaning more apparent. But some translations rendered this as “Elhanan killed Goliath”, which is false. The one who killed Goliath was king David. The later edition of the NIV seems to have fixed this error. |
4. [19] Psalm 12:6-7 | 6 The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. 7 Thou shalt keep them, O Lord, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. |
6 And the words of the Lord are flawless, like silver purified in a crucible, like gold refined seven times. 7 You, Lord, will keep the needy safe and will protect us forever from the wicked. |
The extremely important promise of God to preserve His Word intact has been altered into another meaning by the Westcort-Hort. |
5. [23] Isaiah 14:12 | 12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! | 12 How you have fallen from heaven, morning star, son of the dawn! |
“Morning Star” is a name of the Lord Jesus ([27] Revelation 22:16). The Westcott-Hort gave this name to Lucifer. |
6. [27] Daniel 3:25 | 25 He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God. | 25 He said, “Look! I see four men walking around in the fire, unbound and unharmed, and the fourth looks like a son of the gods.” | Is Jesus a son of multiple gods or The Son of God? |
7. [01] Matthew 1:25 | 25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name Jesus. | 25 But he did not consummate their marriage until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus. | |
8. [01] Matthew 3:4 | 4 And the same John had his raiment of camel’s hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locust beans and wild honey. | 4 John’s clothes were made of camel’s hair, and he had a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey. | (*) Interestingly enough, this word “ἀκρίς”, can be rendered both as “locust” and “locust bean”, and according to this humble translator’s research, turns out it is “locust bean”, not “locust”. To be fair, the taste of this bean sucks, but it is very nutritious and a “complete” protein, containing ALL the amino acids that the human body needs, including methionine, which locusts usually lack (thus if John the baptist was eating locusts instead of locust beans, he would be in severe malnutrition, or even dead). |
9. [01] Matthew 5:22 | 22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca (*), shall be in danger of the council (**): but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. | 22 But I tell you that anyone who is angry with a brother or sister will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to a brother or sister, ‘Raca,’ is answerable to the court. And anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of hell. | (*) “Raka” means “empty”, “worthless”, used to express contempt. (**) “Sanhedrin” is the highest Jewish council. |
10. [01] Matthew 5:37 | 37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil. | 37 All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one. | “πονηρου” means evil in general, or wickedness. The Lord was teaching about being upright. |
11. [01] Matthiew 5:44 | 44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; | 44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, | Westcott-Hort removed a huge portion in the saying of Jesus compared to the original Majority Text. |
12. [01] Matthew 6:13 | 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. | 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. | Westcott-Hort missing the entire second half of the verse. |
13. [01] Matthew 6:27 | 27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? | 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life? | |
14. [01] Matthew 8:2 | 2 And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. | 2 A man with leprosy came and knelt before him and said, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.” | |
15. [01] Matthew 8:29 | 29 And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time? | 29 “What do you want with us, Son of God?” they shouted. “Have you come here to torture us before the appointed time?” | |
16. [01] Matthew 9:13 | 13 For I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. | 13 For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.” | |
17. [01] Matthew 9:18 | 18 While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a certain ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live. | 18 While he was saying this, a synagogue leader came and knelt before him and said, “My daughter has just died. But come and put your hand on her, and she will live.” | |
18. [01] Matthew 10:3 | 3 Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus; | 3 Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; | |
19. [01] Matthew 11:19 | 19 The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children. | 19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’ But wisdom is proved right by her deeds.” | |
20. [01] Matthew 13:51 | 51 Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord. | 51 “Have you understood all these things?” Jesus asked. “Yes,” they replied. | |
21. [01] Matthew 15:8 | 8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. | 8 “‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. | |
22. [01] Matthew 16:3 | 3 And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times? | 3 and in the morning, ‘Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times. | |
23. [01] Matthew 16:20 | 20 Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ. | 20 Then he ordered his disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah. | |
24. [01] Matthew 19:9 | 9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery. | 9 I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.” | |
25. [01] Matthew 19:17 | 17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. | 17 “Why do you ask me about what is good?” Jesus replied. “There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, keep the commandments.” | |
26. [01] Matthew 20:7 | 7 They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive. | 7 “‘Because no one has hired us,’ they answered. He said to them, ‘You also go and work in my vineyard.’ | |
27. [01] Matthew 20:16 | 16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen. | 16 “So the last will be first, and the first will be last.” | |
28. [01] Matthew 20:22, 23 | 22 But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are able. 23 And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father. |
22 “You don’t know what you are asking,” Jesus said to them. “Can you drink the cup I am going to drink?” “We can,” they answered. 23 Jesus said to them, “You will indeed drink from my cup, but to sit at my right or left is not for me to grant. These places belong to those for whom they have been prepared by my Father.” |
|
29. [01] Matthew 23:8 | 8 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master (*), even Christ; and all ye are brethren (**). | 8 “But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers. | (*) Kathegetes: the master or teacher of the highest rank in a religion, kinda like the “head-master” of some sort. Its root word, hēgeomai, means “lead”, and was translated as “governor” (or “leader”) in [01] Matthew 2:6. This “kathegetes” word only appeared 3 times in the whole Bible, once in this verse 8 and twice in the below verse 10, showing very clearly that the possition of supreme authority in the church belongs to Christ and Him alone, no one is allowed to take it to himself. (**) In the Lord, teachers are not forbidden. But while teaching one another, we do so as brothers admonishing one another, with each person always willing to listen and learn to receive the instructions the Lord sent, even through the very brethren that were taught by us. |
30. [01] Matthew 23:10 | 10 Neither be ye called masters (*): for one is your Master (*), even Christ. | 10 Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Messiah. | (*) See note in [01] Matthew 23:8 (*) above. |
31. [01] Matthew 24:7 | 7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. | 7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. | |
32. [01] Matthew 24:36 | 36 But of that day and hour knoweth (*) no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. | 36 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. | (*) Note that this word is usually translated as “know”, but it can also be understood in the sense of “make known”, like in [07] I Corinthians 2:2 “For I determined not to know (make known) any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.” The translator would like to clearly note this out for dear readers’ references. |
33. [01] Matthew 25:31 | 31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: | 31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. | |
34. [01] Matthew 27:24 | 24 When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it. | 24 When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that instead an uproar was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd. “I am innocent of this man’s blood,” he said. “It is your responsibility!” | |
35. [01] Matthew 28:9 | 9 And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him. | 9 Suddenly Jesus met them. “Greetings,” he said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him. | |
36. [02] Mark 1:6 | 6 And John was clothed with camel’s hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he did eat locust beans (*) and wild honey. | 6 John wore clothing made of camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist, and he ate locusts and wild honey. | (*) See note in [01] Matthew 3:4. |
37. [02] Mark 1:14 | 14 Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, | 14 After John was put in prison, Jesus went into Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God. | |
38. [02] Mark 1:31 | 31 And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them. | 31 So he went to her, took her hand and helped her up. The fever left her and she began to wait on them. | |
39. [02] Mark 2:17 | 17 When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. | 17 On hearing this, Jesus said to them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.” | |
40. [02] Mark 3:15 | 15 And to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils. | 15 and to have authority to drive out demons. | |
41. [02] Mark 3:29 | 29 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Spirit hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation. | 29 but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; they are guilty of an eternal sin.” | |
42. [02] Mark 6:11 | 11 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city. | 11 And if any place will not welcome you or listen to you, leave that place and shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them.” | |
43. [02] Mark 6:20 | 20 For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man and an holy, and observed him; and when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly. | 20 because Herod feared John and protected him, knowing him to be a righteous and holy man. When Herod heard John, he was greatly puzzled; yet he liked to listen to him. | |
44. [02] Mark 6:33 | 33 And they saw them departing, and many knew him, and ran afoot thither out of all cities, and outwent them, and came together unto him. | 33 But many who saw them leaving recognized them and ran on foot from all the towns and got there ahead of them. | |
45. [02] Mark 6:51 | 51 And he went up unto them into the ship; and the wind ceased: and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure, and wondered. | 51 Then he climbed into the boat with them, and the wind died down. They were completely amazed, | |
46. [02] Mark 7:8 | 8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. | 8 You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to human traditions.” | |
47. [02] Mark 7:19 | 19 Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats? | 19 For it doesn’t go into their heart but into their stomach, and then out of the body.” (In saying this, Jesus declared all foods clean.) | This part was completely made up, nowhere found in the original text. |
48. [02] Mark 8:26 | 26 And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor tell it to any in the town. | 26 Jesus sent him home, saying, “Don’t even go into the village.” | |
49. [02] Mark 9:24 | 24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief. | 24 Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!” | |
50. [02] Mark 9:29 | 29 And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting. | 29 He replied, “This kind can come out only by prayer.” | |
51. [02] Mark 9:45 | 45 And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: | 45 And if your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than to have two feet and be thrown into hell. | |
52. [02] Mark 9:49 | 49 For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt. | 49 Everyone will be salted with fire. | |
53. [02] Mark 10:21 | 21 Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me. | 21 Jesus looked at him and loved him. “One thing you lack,” he said. “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” | |
54. [02] Mark 10:24 | 24 And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God! | 24 The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said again, “Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God! | |
55. [02] Mark 11:10 | 10 Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest. | 10 “Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David!” “Hosanna in the highest heaven!” | |
56. [02] Mark 13:14 | 14 But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains: | 14 “When you see ‘the abomination that causes desolation’ standing where it does not belong—let the reader understand—then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. | |
57. [02] Mark 13:33 | 33 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. | 33 Be on guard! Be alert! You do not know when that time will come. | |
58. [02] Mark 14:24 | 24 And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many. | 24 “This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many,” he said to them. | |
59. [03] Luke 1:28 | 28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. | 28 The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.” | |
60. [03] Luke 2:14 | 14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. | 14 “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.” | |
61. [03] Luke 2:33 | 33 And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him. | 33 The child’s father and mother marveled at what was said about him. | Joseph is NOT the father of Jesus. |
62. [03] Luke 2:43 | 43 And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it. | 43 After the festival was over, while his parents were returning home, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, but they were unaware of it. | Joseph is NOT the father of Jesus. |
63. [03] Luke 2:48 | 48 And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing. | 48 When his parents saw him, they were astonished. His mother said to him, “Son, why have you treated us like this? Your father and I have been anxiously searching for you.” | Joseph is NOT the father of Jesus. |
64. [03] Luke 4:4 | 4 And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God. | 4 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone.’” | |
65. [03] Luke 4:8 | 8 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan! It is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. | 8 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve him only.’” | |
66. [03] Luke 4:18 | 18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, | 18 “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, | |
67. [03] Luke 4:41 | 41 And devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou art Christ the Son of God. And he rebuking them suffered them not to speak: for they knew that he was Christ. | 41 Moreover, demons came out of many people, shouting, “You are the Son of God!” But he rebuked them and would not allow them to speak, because they knew he was the Messiah. | |
68. [03] Luke 4:44 | 44 And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee. | 44 And he kept on preaching in the synagogues of Judea. | |
69. [03] Luke 5:38 | 38 But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved. | 38 No, new wine must be poured into new wineskins. | |
70. [03] Luke 6:48 | 48 He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock. | 48 They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. | |
71. [03] Luke 8:43 | 43 And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any, | 43 And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years, but no one could heal her. | |
72. [03] Luke 8:48 | 48 And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace. | 48 Then he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace.” | |
73. [03] Luke 9:7 | 7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him: and he was perplexed, because that it was said of some, that John was risen from the dead; | 7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard about all that was going on. And he was perplexed because some were saying that John had been raised from the dead, | |
74. [03] Luke 9:55-56 | 55 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. 56 For the Son of man is not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them. And they went to another village. |
55 But Jesus turned and rebuked them. 56 Then he and his disciples went to another village. |
|
75. [03] Luke 10:1 | 1 After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come. | 1 After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them two by two ahead of him to every town and place where he was about to go. | |
76. [03] Luke 10:19 | 19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. | 19 I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you. | |
77. [03] Luke 11:2-4 | 2 And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. 3 Give us day by day our daily bread. 4 And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil. |
2 He said to them, “When you pray, say: “‘Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come. 3 Give us each day our daily bread. 4 Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.’” |
Westcott-Hort was missing too many words, making the prayer in [03] Luke 11 vastly different than the prayer in [01] Matthew 6. |
78. [03] Luke 11:11 | 11 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? | 11 “Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead? | |
79. [03] Luke 11:29 | 29 And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet. | 29 As the crowds increased, Jesus said, “This is a wicked generation. It asks for a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah. | |
80. [03] Luke 11:54 | 54 Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him. | 54 waiting to catch him in something he might say. | |
81. [03] Luke 20:23 | 23 But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt ye me? | 23 He saw through their duplicity and said to them, | |
82. [03] Luke 21:4 | 4 For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had. | 4 All these people gave their gifts out of their wealth; but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on.” | |
83. [03] Luke 22:31 | 31 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: | 31 “Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift all of you as wheat. | |
84. [03] Luke 22:64 | 64 And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote thee? | 64 They blindfolded him and demanded, “Prophesy! Who hit you?” | |
85. [03] Luke 22:68 | 68 And if I also ask you, ye will not answer me, nor let me go. | 68 and if I asked you, you would not answer. | |
86. [03] Luke 23:15 | 15 No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him. | 15 Neither has Herod, for he sent him back to us; as you can see, he has done nothing to deserve death. | |
87. [03] Luke 23:23 | 23 And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed. | 23 But with loud shouts they insistently demanded that he be crucified, and their shouts prevailed. | |
88. [03] Luke 23:38 | 38 And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, This Is The King Of The Jews. | 38 There was a written notice above him, which read: this is the king of the jews. | |
89. [03] Luke 23:42 | 42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. | 42 Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” | |
90. [03] Luke 24:1 | 1 Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them. | 1 On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. | |
91. [03] Luke 24:42 | 42 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb. | 42 They gave him a piece of broiled fish, | |
92. [03] Luke 24:49 | 49 And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high. | 49 I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.” | |
93. [03] Luke 24:53 | 53 And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen. | 53 And they stayed continually at the temple, praising God. | |
94. [04] John 1:1 | 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with The God (*), and the Word was God (*). | 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. | (*) The first “God” word is “theon” and has a definitive article “the” before it (ton), so it has to be understood as referring to a specific being: The God. The second “God” word is “theos” and was deliberately put there by John without any definitive article before it, to differentiate it from the first word, so it has to be understood as referring to a “kind”, and not a specific being like the first word, even though it could be understood as referring to the God of the Bible in other places where it wasn’t placed in such direct contrast with another “the God” word. This is equivalent to say: “Eve was with The Human (Adam), and Eve was human.” |
95. [04] John 1:14 | 14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. | 14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. | (*) The only begotten Son. Westcott-Hort omitted a very important word that confirms Jesus to be literally begotten of God. |
96. [04] John 1:27 | 27 He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe’s latchet I am not worthy to unloose. | 27 He is the one who comes after me, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.” | |
97. [04] John 3:13 | 13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. | 13 No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven—the Son of Man. | |
98. [04] John 3:15 | 15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. | 15 that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him.” | |
99. [04] John 3:18 | 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. | 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. | (*) The only begotten Son. Westcott-Hort omitted a very important word that confirms Jesus to be literally begotten of God. |
100. [04] John 4:42 | 42 And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world. | 42 They said to the woman, “We no longer believe just because of what you said; now we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Savior of the world.” | |
101. [04] John 5:16 | 16 And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day. | 16 So, because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jewish leaders began to persecute him. | |
102. [04] John 6:11 | 11 And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would. | 11 Jesus then took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted. He did the same with the fish. | |
103. [04] John 6:39 | 39 And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. | 39 And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. | |
104. [04] John 6:47 | 47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. | 47 Very truly I tell you, the one who believes has eternal life. | |
105. [04] John 6:69 | 69 And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God. | 69 We have come to believe and to know that you are the Holy One of God.” | |
106. [04] John 8:9 | 9 And those hearing, being convicted by the conscience (*), went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. | 9 At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. | (*) The Alexandrian texts were missing the part “being convicted by the conscience” compared to the original Majority Text manuscripts, which is so critical in revealing that the Lord had just done something that made these people realize their sins. Thus, many scholars believe what Jesus wrote on the ground was a list of sins of these very people, from the eldest unto the least. |
107. [04] John 8:10 | 10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? | 10 Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?” | |
108. [04] John 8:29 | 29 And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him. | 29 The one who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, for I always do what pleases him.” | |
109. [04] John 8:59 | 59 Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by. | 59 At this, they picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus hid himself, slipping away from the temple grounds. | |
110. [04] John 9:4 | 4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. | 4 As long as it is day, we must do the works of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work. | |
111. [04] John 9:35 | 35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God? | 35 Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and when he found him, he said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?” | |
112. [04] John 10:26 | 26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. | 26 but you do not believe because you are not my sheep. | |
113. [04] John 11:41 | 41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. | 41 So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. | |
114. [04] John 13:23 | 23 Now there was leaning on Jesus’ bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved. | 23 One of them, the disciple whom Jesus loved, was reclining next to him. | |
115. [04] John 16:16 | 16 A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father. | 16 Jesus went on to say, “In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me.” | |
116. [04] John 17:5 | 5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. | 5 And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began. | |
117. [04] John 17:12 | 12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. | 12 While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by that name you gave me. None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that Scripture would be fulfilled. | |
118. [04] John 17:21 | 21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. | 21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. | |
119. [05] Acts 2:30 | 30 Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne; | 30 But he was a prophet and knew that God had promised him on oath that he would place one of his descendants on his throne. | |
120. [05] Acts 2:31 | 31 He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in the grave, neither his flesh did see corruption. | 31 Seeing what was to come, he spoke of the resurrection of the Messiah, that he was not abandoned to the realm of the dead, nor did his body see decay. | |
121. [05] Acts 3:13 | 13 The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go. | 13 The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus. You handed him over to be killed, and you disowned him before Pilate, though he had decided to let him go. | |
122. [05] Acts 3:26 | 26 Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities. | 26 When God raised up his servant, he sent him first to you to bless you by turning each of you from your wicked ways.” | |
123. [05] Acts 7:30 | 30 And when forty years were expired, there appeared to him in the wilderness of mount Sina an angel of the Lord in a flame of fire in a bush. | 30 “After forty years had passed, an angel appeared to Moses in the flames of a burning bush in the desert near Mount Sinai. | |
124. [05] Acts 10:30 | 30 And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and, behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing, | 30 Cornelius answered: “Three days ago I was in my house praying at this hour, at three in the afternoon. Suddenly a man in shining clothes stood before me | “The ninth hour” is 3 pm. |
125. [05] Acts 15:18 | 18 Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world. | 18 things known from long ago. | |
126. [05] Acts 16:31 | 31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. | 31 They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household.” | |
127. [05] Acts 17:26 | 26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; | 26 From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. | |
128. [05] Acts 20:28 | 28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of the Lord and (*) of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. | 28 Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood. | The Westcott-Hort, together with many faulty manuscripts, lacked “of the Lord and” compared to the original Majority Text manuscripts, causing the word “he” in the next clause to switch into referring to God instead of Jesus, changing the meaning of the verse. |
129. [05] Acts 20:32 | 32 And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified. | 32 “Now I commit you to God and to the word of his grace, which can build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified. | |
130. [05] Acts 23:9 | 9 And there arose a great cry: and the scribes that were of the Pharisees’ part arose, and strove, saying, We find no evil in this man: but if a spirit or an angel hath spoken to him, let us not fight against God. | 9 There was a great uproar, and some of the teachers of the law who were Pharisees stood up and argued vigorously. “We find nothing wrong with this man,” they said. “What if a spirit or an angel has spoken to him?” | |
131. [05] Acts 24:6-8 | 6 Who also hath gone about to profane the temple: whom we took, and would have judged according to our law. 7 But the chief captain Lysias came upon us, and with great violence took him away out of our hands, 8 Commanding his accusers to come unto thee: by examining of whom thyself mayest take knowledge of all these things, whereof we accuse him. |
6 and even tried to desecrate the temple; so we seized him. 7 8 By examining him yourself you will be able to learn the truth about all these charges we are bringing against him.” |
The whole chunk, including the entire verse 7, has been omitted in the Alexandrian texts. |
132. [05] Acts 28:16 | 16 And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard: but Paul was suffered to dwell by himself with a soldier that kept him. | 16 When we got to Rome, Paul was allowed to live by himself, with a soldier to guard him. | |
133. [06] Romans 1:16 | 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. | 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile. | |
134. [06] Romans 1:29 | 29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, | 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, | |
135. [06] Romans 8:1 | 1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. | 1 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, | |
136. [06] Romans 9:28 | 28 For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth. | 28 For the Lord will carry out his sentence on earth with speed and finality.” | |
137. [06] Romans 10:15 | 15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! | 15 And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” | |
138. [06] Romans 11:6 | 6 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then it is no more grace: otherwise work is no more work. | 6 And if by grace, then it cannot be based on works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace. | |
139. [06] Romans 13:9 | 9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. | 9 The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not covet,” and whatever other command there may be, are summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” | |
140. [06] Romans 14:10 | 10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. | 10 You, then, why do you judge your brother or sister? Or why do you treat them with contempt? For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat. | |
141. [06] Romans 14:21 | 21 It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak. | 21 It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything else that will cause your brother or sister to fall. | |
142. [06] Romans 15:29 | 29 And I am sure that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ. | 29 I know that when I come to you, I will come in the full measure of the blessing of Christ. | |
143. [07] I Corinthians 5:7 | 7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: | 7 Get rid of the old yeast, so that you may be a new unleavened batch—as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. | |
144. [07] I Corinthians 6:20 | 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s. | 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies. | |

[07] I Corinthians 7:5 | 5 Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency. | 5 Do not deprive each other except perhaps by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. | |
146. [07] I Corinthians 9:18 | 18 What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel. | 18 What then is my reward? Just this: that in preaching the gospel I may offer it free of charge, and so not make full use of my rights as a preacher of the gospel. | |
147. [07] I Corinthians 10:28 | 28 But if any man say unto you, this is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake: for the earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof: | 28 But if someone says to you, “This has been offered in sacrifice,” then do not eat it, both for the sake of the one who told you and for the sake of conscience. | |
148. [07] I Corinthians 11:24 | 24 And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. | 24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.” | |
149. [07] I Corinthians 11:29 | 29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body. | 29 For those who eat and drink without discerning the body of Christ eat and drink judgment on themselves. | |
150. [07] I Corinthians 15:47 | 47 The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven. | 47 The first man was of the dust of the earth; the second man is of heaven. | |

(*) Accursed publically. (**) Meaning “Our Lord cometh”. |
152. [08] II Corinthians 2:17 | 17 For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ. | 17 Unlike so many, we do not peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity, as those sent from God. | |
153. [08] II Corinthians 5:18 | 18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; | 18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: | |
154. [08] II Corinthians 11:31 | 31 The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is blessed for evermore, knoweth that I lie not. | 31 The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, who is to be praised forever, knows that I am not lying. | |
155. [09] Galatians 3:1 | 1 O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? | 1 You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified. | |
156. [09] Galatians 3:17 | 17 And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect. | 17 What I mean is this: The law, introduced 430 years later, does not set aside the covenant previously established by God and thus do away with the promise. | |
157. [09] Galatians 4:7 | 7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. | 7 So you are no longer a slave, but God’s child; and since you are his child, God has made you also an heir. | |
158. [09] Galatians 5:12 | 12 I would they were even cut off which trouble you. | 12 As for those agitators, I wish they would go the whole way and emasculate themselves! | |
159. [09] Galatians 6:15 | 15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. | 15 Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything; what counts is the new creation. | |
160. [09] Galatians 6:17 | 17 From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus. | 17 From now on, let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus. | |
161. [10] Ephesians 3:9 | 9 And to make all men see what is the stewardship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: | 9 and to make plain to everyone the administration of this mystery, which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things. | |
162. [10] Ephesians 3:14 | 14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, | 14 For this reason I kneel before the Father, | |
163. [10] Ephesians 4:6 | 6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in us all. | 6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. | God doesn’t dwell in other creations or the unbelievers, but only in His children. |
164. [10] Ephesians 5:9 | 9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) | 9 (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) | |
165. [10] Ephesians 5:30 | 30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. | 30 for we are members of his body. | |
166. [10] Ephesians 6:10 | 10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. | 10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. | |

170. [12] Colossians 1:14 | 14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: | 14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. | |
171. [12] Colossians 1:28 | 28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: | 28 He is the one we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone fully mature in Christ. | |
172. [12] Colossians 2:11 | 11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: | 11 In him you were also circumcised with a circumcision not performed by human hands. Your whole self ruled by the flesh was put off when you were circumcised by Christ, | |
173. [12] Colossians 4:8 | 8 Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that he might know your estate, and comfort your hearts; | 8 I am sending him to you for the express purpose that you may know about our circumstances and that he may encourage your hearts. | |
174.

176. [13] I Thessalonians 2:16 | 16 Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins alway: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost. | 16 in their effort to keep us from speaking to the Gentiles so that they may be saved. In this way they always heap up their sins to the limit. The wrath of God has come upon them at last. | |
177. [13] I Thessalonians 3:11 | 11 Now God himself and our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way unto you. | 11 Now may our God and Father himself and our Lord Jesus clear the way for us to come to you. | |

182. [15] I Timothy 3:16 | 16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God (*) was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. | 16 Beyond all question, the mystery from which true godliness springs is great: He appeared in the flesh, was vindicated by the Spirit, was seen by angels, was preached among the nations, was believed on in the world, was taken up in glory. | (*) Note that both Christ and the Father who is always in Him ([04] John 14:10) are God-beings (they are of the same “kind” because they are Father and Son). |
183. [15] I Timothy 4:12 | 12 Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. | 12 Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity. | |

[19] Hebrews 7:21 | 21 (For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec🙂 | 21 but he became a priest with an oath when God said to him: “The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind: ‘You are a priest forever.’” | |
196. [19] Hebrews 9:11 | 11 But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation; | 11 But when Christ came as high priest of the good things that are now already here, he went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle that is not made with human hands, that is to say, is not a part of this creation. | |

198. [19] Hebrews 10:34 | 34 For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance. | 34 You suffered along with those in prison and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property, because you knew that you yourselves had better and lasting possessions. | |
199. [19] Hebrews 11:11 | 11 Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised. | 11 And by faith even Sarah, who was past childbearing age, was enabled to bear children because she considered him faithful who had made the promise. | |
200. [20] James 5:12 | 12 But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into hypocrisy. | 12 Above all, my brothers and sisters, do not swear—not by heaven or by earth or by anything else.

204. [21] I Peter 4:14 | 14 If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified. | 14 If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. | |

This old command is the message you have heard. | |
209. [23] I John 4:3 | 3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. | 3 but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world. | |
210. [23] I John 4:9 | 9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. | 9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. | |

II) Errors of the Textus Receptus (of the English King James) compared to the Majority Text.
When translating the King James over 400 years ago, the translators back then hadn’t found the 5.000+ manuscripts of the Majority Text that we have today, and they had to make do in many places because they had so few manuscripts to determine which rendering was the original text. But now these spots, where in former times had only a few manuscripts, now have more than enough, and thanks to that we can now determine the original rendering.
The comparison chart below will list down a few most critical errors that affect doctrines. Note that besides these, there is also the error in [05] Acts 20:28 that has already been presented above.
Address | The English Majority Text Bible translated from 5.000+ Majority Text manuscripts | The English King translated from the Textus Receptus (1611) | Note |
1. [23] I John 5:7-8 | 7 For there are three that bear record: 8 the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three are one. |
7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. 8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. |
Eramus – the compiler of the Textus Receptus for the translators to translate into the King James afterwards – couldn’t find a single Greek manuscript that has this “Comma Johanneum” (added text of John) and had intended not to put it in. But the Catholic church – even though they could provide only one manuscript that dated even to the XV century (Codex Montfortianus – GA 61) – had used their position of power to force Eramus to put it in. And he did. Nowadays we can confirm that this added text really was added, nowhere found in the Majority Text manuscripts. |
2. [27] Revelation 5:14 | 14 And the four creatures said, Amen. And the elders fell down and worshipped. | 14 And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever. | The worship here was being offered to both the Father and the Son. (him that sitteth upon the throne and the Lamb – verse 13) |
3. [27] Revelation 14:1 | 1 And I looked, and, behold, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his name and his Father’s name written in their foreheads. | 14 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father’s name written in their foreheads. | The Seal of God is the name of both the Father and the Son in the “forehead” – a correct knowledge of God and His Son in the mind. This knowledge would then manifest itself out into other visible signs. |
